Bournville Cocoa Cadbury Chocolate
Original vintage food advertising poster for Bournville Cocoa powder - "Keep fit on Cocoa" Bournville "By Test The Best" See the name Cadbury on every piece of chocolate - featuring a great illustration of a mother and her smiling children enjoying a warming cup of hot chocolate drink in the evening, the boy wearing stripey pyjamas and sitting on the arm of the comfortable armchair and girl wearing a nightdress leaning on the other side, with the stylised text above in front of the window and below in the margin, an open jar of the Pure Soluble Cocoa on the image border. Founded in 1824 by John Cadbury (1801-1889), this well-known English brand is now one of the largest in the world (owned by Mondelez International / Kraft Foods since 2010); Bournville Cocoa was named after the Bournville estate model village developed for Cadbury's company employees to "alleviate the evils of modern, more cramped living conditions" (named after the river Bourn and the French word ville for town). Good condition, creases and folds in margins.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
